ART AND RADIOLOGY

The mutilated and decomposed body intends to provoke an aesthetical impression in the re-creator. The proposed anatomical geometry creates an interaction between the bones, flesh and cavities and they work altogether in a system, an organic one. The size of the piece (medium format) intends to achieve the referred visual impact.
The piece seeks to poeticize the internal vision of a sick, decadent human body shown by radiological medical techniques.

One thing that catches my interest as an artist is the passivity that a sick human body shows on which technicians practice a medical scan. The body remains immobile, displaying its internal organs, offering itself to the sight of others.

Beauty is in many places. One of these sites is the interior of a human body, a Jane Doe’s or John Doe’s. “Spine Study 2” is an artwork which shows a deteriorated set of tissues and bones. The elements, its colors and shapes seek to achieve beauty, a frantic one.

You're welcome to this Art and Radioloy Collection. 

I am captivated by the allure of deformity and drama as exquisite subjects for artistic expression. I am receptive to new manifestations of reality, engaging in an empathetic exercise to grasp the conditions of others.

The inspiration for creating these works are the medical radiological studies made on anonymous individuals, often referred to as Jane or John Doe.

I divided this collection into two distinct periods: Period I span from 2000 to 2003, while Period II encompasses artworks created from 2015 to the present.

Art Influences

In Art and Radiology, I don’t seek to capture the human organs or implants that modern medical imaging provides, but to reinterpret them. In fact, I try to recreate a new order of elements that I take from the source images.

The poetic experience that drove my attention to medical topics is the work of painter Francis Bacon (1909-1992, Ireland), whose sources, in some of his works, are medical X-rays made to human bodies and animals. I find this grand master’s resources fascinating. Therefore, I introduce into my work the medical results of today’s modern imaging: radiography, angiography, tomography, among others.

So, images of diagnosis and medical solutions intent on restructuring our human “carnality” which mitigates its decay, its deformity, its pain... are all topics of my work. What comes out of this appropriation are “maps” or “Human Landscapes” of organisms that reveal their decayed condition. In this way, the hip, the rib cage, and others are the organs I explore in my work. In it there is a “triple sight”–that of the medical apparatus, the one of my own, and the third one is the re-creator’s. 

Pictorical currents

The pictorial currents of my work in this collection are figurative and semi-abstract.

The media and techniques of my choice are oil, acrylic on canvas or paper in medium and small format (70 square inches up to 8 by 11 inches).

Art Techniques

The techniques I use are: traditional (oil and acrylic, crayon, pencil, clay sculpting, etc.) and digital painting (digital tablet, Photoshop, 3D sculpture, etc.).
